1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
at least one transceiver configured to send and receive wireless signals, the at least one transceiver comprising one or more antennas;
a memory;
one or more sensors configured to provide one or more sensor indications, the one or more sensors comprising at least one of:
one or more first sensors configured to sense one or more environmental conditions; or
one or more second sensors configured to sense one or more UE conditions; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the at least one transceiver, the memory, and the one or more sensors and configured to control operation, for communication with an entity external to the UE, of at least one of the at least one processor or the at least one transceiver based on the one or more sensor indications provided by the one or more sensors to affect at least one of:
a communication directionality of the UE; or
a transmit power of the at least one transceiver; or
a transmit frequency of the at least one transceiver; or
a processing effort of the at least one processor for processing communication signals, and
wherein the at least one processor is configured to at least one of:
affect communication transmission by the UE based on UE status as indicated by the one or more second sensors; or
increase communication transmission by the UE based on status of a vehicle passenger as indicated by the one or more second sensors; or
reduce communication transmission in response to the at least one processor determining that the UE is a member of a group of associated UEs; or
reduce communication transmission by the UE based on an environment proximate to the UE.
